Riassunto

Even in a bad economy, companies have job openings they can’t fill. Considering the millions of people who are out of work or unhappily employed, how can that be?What are job seekers doing to turn off employers? And what is it that employers want but aren’t finding?

Leading career expert and syndicated columnist Andrea Kay asked employers one simple question: why didn’t you hire the last ten people you interviewed? What it came down to, every time, wasn’t a matter of skills or experience, but how applicants seemed based on what they said or did. From lack of preparation, to pushiness, to a subtly defensive attitude, it's the simple behaviors prospective employees exhibit before, during, and after interviews that stand between them and job offers.

Based on candid insights from real-life employers, and featuring a foreword by Richard Nelson Bolles, bestselling author of What Color Is Your Parachute?, this book helps job hunters take control of how they come across to the people in charge of hiring. From “20 Things You Should Never Do” to a “Would You Hire You?” test, This Is How to Get Your Next Job helps readers show hiring managers who they are and why they’re the perfect fit for the job they seek.

— From the book’s foreword by Richard N. Bolles, author of What Color Is Your Parachute?

There’s no question that looking for work can be daunting. But what’s most likely hold­ing you back from getting that much-desired job offer isn’t a matter of your skills or experience, but how potential employers see you.

When asked by leading career expert Andrea Kay why they didn’t hire the last ten people they interviewed, employers revealed that it was the behaviors people exhibited before, during, and after interviews—from lack of preparation, to pushiness, to a subtly defensive attitude—that led them to say “No.” Simply put, they concluded: If you act like this now, you’ll act like this on the job.

Based on candid insights from real-life employers, This Is How to Get Your Next Job helps you influence the people in charge of hiring. You’ll learn how to make a positive and genuine impression, demonstrate what type of employee you’ll be, and remove all doubt that you’ll be that elusive “good fit” for the company.

Featuring a list of “15 Things You Should Never Do” and a “Would You Hire You?” test, this book reveals what you may be doing or saying that could be getting in the way of your being hired . . . and gives you the strategies you need to show employers who you really are.
